Driving Change For Better Microbiology: Optimizing Quality, Cost, & Time for Better Results
EXPERT WEBINAR | THURSDAY, APRIL 22, 2021 | 1:00 PM EDT
Join us for a fascinating, educational webinar in celebration of clinical laboratory professionals and advances in microbiology technology during Medical Laboratory Professionals Week 2021! P.A.C.E.® credits will be offered.
Three driving forces in modern clinical microbiology are quality, cost, and time. In this webinar, Dr. Joel Mortensen will explore the positive impact and untapped potential from using the BACT/ALERT® VIRTUO® blood culture system. Dr. Mortensen will discuss how Cincinnati Children’s Hospital optimized culturing of fluids from normally sterile body sites to improve sample quality, as well as how bioMérieux microbiology solutions helped reduce the time to actionable results and laboratory costs.
